Retired educator Peter Halkias, in his autobiography Faithful to My Roots, writes about his childhood years during the German Occupation (1941-44) and the subsequent civil war that ravaged his native country of Greece. As he recalls, digging deep into his past, he writes of the difficult relations with his father during his elementary school years and the support he received from his mother during his high school years at Sparta and later years. Without any reservation, he does not hesitate to analyze both his parents from a social, intellectual, economic, and moral point of view. He continues his biography by describing his service in the Greek armed forces and the dreams he made as a young man right after he fulfilled his military obligation.
